They may sound relatively new to the industry, but BYD has been around for much longer. The company was founded in 1995 in Shenzhen, China, starting out producing batteries.

Each vehicle is built using the BYD Blade Battery, built on over two decades of expertise in EV battery technology. This is rigorously tested to ensure optimal efficiency in a range of conditions, with a complex structure of eight key components.
